After a red-eye flight from LAX to NYC, I have found a quiet place to sit and watch New York come alive. As I sit and paint, I can hear a variety of languages... tourists, business men and women, and several curious pigeons.
New York... at Rockerfeller Center Plaza...
During the course of the morning, I took reference photos.
This helps me work with the changing light. Even within a few minutes the reflective lighting off a tall skyscraper can change the entire image. Look at the intensity of the Yellow Traffic Signal...
And, as luck would have it... I decided to place a man in a shirt and tie in the forground to create a visual story... and as I was just about to pack up and take a break for lunch, this man in a light business suit walked toward me. How perfect. The guy in the blue suit had walked past about 2 hours earlier and I never got a photo... so I was very happy with this coincidence.
